Dean Martin Knocks the Beatles out of the #1 Spot on the Chart
This article refers to record producer "Jimmy Bowden," but I think the guy's name is "Bowen." Bowen was a singer with Buddy Knox's band and had a big hit of his own with "I'm Stickin' with You" in the '50s.

My husband--a huge Beatles fan--always loved the story of Dean telling his kid that he (Dean) was gonna knock the Beatles out of number one, but I don't think we've ever heard the "pallie" part of the story, but it sounds right for Dean.
It was a top five hit but not #1 in New York.

--I'm eight days (yes, a week) out of the womb....well, on;y "Rag Doll" would likely make me regret my presence among the newly listening.
